Nigeria Army Provides Medical Support for Flood Victims

More than 300 residents of Nzam community in Anambra West Local Government Area of Anambra State on Monday benefited from the 302 Artillery Regiment, Onitsha, comprehensive medical outreach.

The regiment had on Sunday treated about 500 residents of Umuoba Anam and Mmiata Anam communities in the same area. The villagers were victims of last year’s flood disaster that submerged communities and farmlands in the state.

The Commander of 302 Artillery Regiment, Onitsha, Col. Taritimiye Gagariga, said the outreach was part of the vision of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika, to transform and make the Nigerian Army professional and humanitarian-service oriented.

Gagariga, who was represented by Lt.-Col. John Majebi, said the exercise would enhance civilian-military relations.
